Director Capital Structuring

What makes Rabobank different from other banks?

We have members rather than shareholders. Instead of paying dividend, we invest part of our profit back into society. This is called "cooperative dividend" and is used to support local, national, and international projects that would not otherwise be possible.

At Rabobank our culture is unique, because every day our people work knowing that we are all playing our part in supporting our farmers to feed the world.
